The fifth edition of the Taiwan International Boat Show (TIBS) is set to return to Kaohsiung from 13-15 November 2026, cementing its position as Asia's leading platform for the global yachting industry. As Taiwan ranks first in Asia and fifth worldwide in superyacht orders according to the BOAT International Global Order Book, TIBS serves as the flagship event connecting the island's world-class manufacturing capabilities with international buyers and marine professionals.
On-water and on-shore experiences
TIBS stands apart as the only boat show in Taiwan offering both on-water displays - complete with boarding and sea trial opportunities - and on-shore exhibitions. Spanning four marinas in Kaohsiung's Asia New Bay Area, the event provides a view of the complete yacht ecosystem, from procurement and production to luxury lifestyle experiences.
The show delivers full supply chain coverage, showcasing whole vessels, marine hardware, professional services, luxury lifestyle products, outdoor recreation equipment and unmanned marine vehicles. This comprehensive approach makes TIBS an essential destination for international buyers, yacht owners and industry professionals seeking to engage with Taiwan's maritime sector and the broader Asia-Pacific market.
Superyachts and premium boats on display
The 2026 edition expects to welcome more than 57 exhibitors, more than 78 yachts and more than 100 booths representing 14 countries and regions, including Italy, Germany, France, Finland and the United Kingdom. The superyacht segment will feature impressive superyachts represented by Amal Yachting, including the 23.7-metre Ferretti Infynito 80, the 30.1-metre Ferretti 1000 and the 30.2-metre Riva 102 Corsaro Super - the same model favoured by Formula 1 racing driver Charles Leclerc.
Smaller size segments will showcase notable models such as the F50 by Princess Yachts, while Simpson Marine will present the Bluegame BGX63, the Swan 51 by Nautor Swan and the Sanlorenzo SX76. Key exhibitors also include Cadcam Marine, KhaShing Enterprise, Lohas Ocean Leisure, Novatec Yachts and Yacht PinAn.
Exclusive VIP experiences and industry networking
Beyond the exhibition floor, TIBS offers exclusive VIP experiences designed to deepen engagement with Taiwan's yachting sector. Attendees can participate in yacht test rides and international media factory visits by invitation only, and procurement meetings, industry workshops and networking banquets. These experiences are designed to provide access to manufacturers, suppliers and decision-makers shaping the future of yacht building in Asia.
For those looking to explore Taiwan's reputation as a global yacht-building powerhouse, TIBS 2026 presents a unique opportunity to witness innovation, craftsmanship and luxury converge in one of Asia's most dynamic maritime hubs.
